Evaluation of the effectiveness of education given to midwifery students with The Pecha Kucha Method on climate
1Kirklareli University School of Health Science, Midwifery Department, Kirklareli, Turkey.
Aim:
This study was conducted using Pecha-Kucha and PowerPoint presentation methods to raise midwifery students' awareness of climate change and to integrate it into midwifery education.
Background:
Education is a social tipping intervention needed to stabilize the world's climate by 2050. Integrating sustainable health services into health professions curricula is an important action to raise awareness.
Design:
Randomized-control design was used. The setting was a midwifery department of faculty health science at a public university in Turkey.
Methods:
This study was randomly assigned to either the intervention group (Pecha-Kucha method) or the control group (PowerPoint presentation method). Before the training, students completed an Introductory Information Form and the University Students' Awareness Scale for Global Climate Change (USASGCC). Following the climate change education, students' post-training awareness was again assessed with the USASGCC. To evaluate students' satisfaction with the training methods, a Visual Analog Scale (VAS) was administered to both groups immediately after the training session.
Results:
A total of 210 midwifery students participated in this study. The awareness levels of students who learned about climate change with the Pecha-Kucha method were significantly higher than those who received this training with the PowerPoint presentation method (19.27 ± 1.43 vs. 13.75 ± 2.38 p ˂ 0.05, respectively). In addition, the satisfaction scores of the Pecha-Kucha group were also found to be significantly higher than those of the PowerPoint group.
Conclusions:
The Pecha-Kucha presentation format was engaging and pleasurable for the audience. The students' climate change awareness levels were found to be quite high with the use of this method. Given its positive impact on both awareness and satisfaction, this educational model can be recommended for use in other course contents in midwifery education.

01:29Assessment of Ventilation II: Respiratory Depth and Rhythm
Respiratory depth measures the volume of air inhaled or exhaled during a breath. It can vary from shallow to deep and typically remains consistent when a person is at rest or asleep. Occasionally, individuals will automatically inhale deeply, known as sighing, which inflates the lungs with more air than normal breathing.
To assess respiratory depth, observe the degree of chest excursion or movement:
